Details

I think we could move to a model of ensuring OS level state on the mac minis without having to re-image or re-install. This could also massively cut down on the offline time it takes to re-image a mac.

I signed up for a trial license and through my testing determined this was not going to be useful for Relops' needs. The showstopper was the requirement for a user to interface at the terminal during reboot. In addition, the software did offered a "restore to snapshot" feature but this happened at every reboot instead of on command.
